Customer Reviews

Time saving
Reading it I found that I was doing many things wrong in the Quickbooks and later at the tax time I would have do all the entries again. It certainly saved me a lot of time and money and help me keep my reports accurate.

A must have
I just received the book and I'm so happy that I bought it. I had taken a course in college on one of the previous versions and they only did part of what QuickBooks can do and that was a service company. I have a retail business and this book tells me what I need to know about setting up everything for a retail store, inventory, invoice, etc. With this book you don't have to be a CPA to use it but if you have one that's great as CPA's can help you stay out of trouble. Very informative and check with your CPA to see if it's deductible as a business expense and this book will show you how to enter it in as such.

Very good for a beginner
This books is great for users with little accounting background just starting out their own business - A Must Read
